Tonight we went to the fourth annual Santa Lucia party at our friends Josh and Elizabeth's home. (To learn more about Santa Lucia, go here.)
We had the traditional cheese and chocolate fondue. YUM! We drank virgin glog. STRONG! We chatted with friends and got to know new people. FUN! We left those two hooligans known as our children with a sitter. WOO-HOO!
We always end the evening with singing the traditional Santa Lucia song while Elizabeth puts on that crazy candle hat and white tunic. In years past it has been hard to sing the song because: 1) nobody knew it, 2) we didn't have any music, and 3) no one could really sing with bellies full of fondue. This year we not only had lyrics, but Lance and I also made a special Santa Lucia CD just for Josh and Elizabeth. (Lance and I crack ourselves up! But didn't we design a cool CD cover?) ((The title is in reference to a song that Lance and I both find funny - do you know it?))
It was a fun evening - a really great way to get into the Christmas spirit. Thanks, Josh and Elizabeth, for such a great evening!
Elizabeth braved the candle hat. (Non-drip candles, of course!)
Josh and Elizabeth have the best Christmas tree ever - it's the top of one of their trees in the back yard! (It was actually really cute and totally fit the 'mood' of the party!)
